Mediation is a voluntary process in which two or more parties involved in a conflict work with an impartial professional to generate their own solutions and attempt to resolve their differences.
Mediation is a flexible form of conflict resolution, which allows the disputing parties a solution prior to what would have constituted litigation.
Unlike a judge, or an arbitrator whose decisions bind the parties, and imply that one party wins and the other loses, mediation seeks to obtain a valid solution for both parties.
Mediation offers the parties an opportunity to gain a greater understanding of their conflict, and to limit the cost (both in time and money) involved in a full legal proceeding. The purpose of mediation is the peaceful and positive resolution of conflicts that arise in different settings. The mediator assists the mediators in creating and evaluating options for resolving the conflict. When the parties reach an agreement, the terms of the agreement are reviewed, reflected in writing, and signed by all parties. As such, an agreement can be legally binding, and as such, it explains to the parties their degree of commitment to the agreement reached.
Mediation is neutral and impartial, voluntary, confidential, expeditious, preventive and flexible.
